A deep dive into the TIM 6530-004 Jolt Superjolt Demon software. 1K 6502 code from 1975. The Jolt was maybe the first 6502 based computer, before the KIM-1 and la year before the Apple 1 retro.hansotten.nl/6502-sbc/jol...

The 6502's JSR pushed the return address minus one onto the stack. RTS pulled it and added one before jumping. Why minus one? Because the 6502 incremented the program counter before fetching the next byte anyway. It saved a cycle at the cost of confusing every programmer who looked at the stack.

The RAMpager is a MTU banked RAM expansion for the KIM-1: the board supports up to 1MB (that's three orders of magnitude above more than the original 1152 bytes!) of memory and maps it to a 4KB window placed between 2000h and FFFFh. www.pcbway.com/project/shar...

The KIM-1 explained Based upon my experience and study of the KIM-1 since 1979. Many notes on paper and files everywhere. Now consolidated in a lot of pages. retro.hansotten.nl/6502-sbc/kim...

Many sources of the KIM-1 monitor are floating around None deliver the real KIM-1 ROMs, . So in June 2026 I have typed in the source as listed in the User manual. Converted to MOS Tech assembler format, delivers the exact ROM binary including 00 filler bytes. retro.hansotten.nl/correct-kim-...
In Frankfurt, Germany there will be an Iron Man this sunday. At the peak of the heatwave. Let‘s go and let Darwin decide! I love cycling and running and swimming, but please let them pay for their medical bills themself when they collaps.
and there is another KIM-1 game in the repo 🤩
@hansotten.bsky.social · last mo.MOStermind is an implementation of the Mastermind board game for the KIM-1 computer. Developed by HKZ. codeberg.org/hkzlab/MOSte... Does it run on the KIM-1 Simulator? YES! You only have to set the FOCAL_V3D break setting in the Settings.
Virtual KIM - your retro 6502 app of choice - got another update. More games, more tutorials. Still shareware with no locked features. Try it! apps.apple.com/us/app/virtu...

The oldest KIM-1 simulator is from 1981: journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1... and it was for the PDP11 Has anybody access to this Journal? @kim-6502.bsky.social @hansotten.bsky.social
Sometimes this Linux is driving me nuts. Fuck this problens that never occurred b4 to anybody in this world. Aaaarg. My BBS is down for maintainance, sorry.
SYM-1 by Synertek was another KIM-1 competitor. Compatible enough to run KIM software, different enough to justify its own manual. The 6502 trainer market of the late '70s was surprisingly crowded.
Chuck Peddle sold the 6502 for $25 when competing chips cost $150+. He didn't just design a processor - he made microcomputing affordable. The Apple II, Commodore 64, NES, and Atari 2600 all exist because of that price.
